    Please explain why it's a shill- most shills are with new accounts, not ones with lots of feedback...

  • I'm probably wrong then... just looked like new seller and bidder had very similiar "handles".

    I'm probably wrong

    I'm not convinced one way or the other. Both have similar handles and live in PA.

    Shilling a reserve auction isn't going to really help you...

    Look a little closer Karl. hdtattoobiker is bidding on just about everything tattoomom820 has for sale, from sound systems to neon signs to Five 1 Oz $100.00 Platinum Eagles.
    And there's a lot of three day auctions too which sends up a red flag to me. It's too obvious to me. It's a shill.

    Hmmm......
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
  • I wouldn't care who is bidding on them. . .I don't think I could bring myself to trust 3,000 to someone who calls themself "tatoomom."

    HD TATTOO BIKER is from Scranton, Penn.

    So was this one!

    HDtattoobiker likes putting little funny faces in his responses to feedback.

    Petescorner provided a link to a previous thread. CHECK IT OUT! All of the "tatoo family" accounts got NARU'ed. Obvious shill bidders, imo. Steve, your instinct was a good one! These tatoo broads/dudes/whatever are not too bright, either. Couldn't they pick handles that don't have "tatoo"in them? Why am I thinking about Fantasy Island right now???
